I was a JP during the first to last episodes of THE ASBO fiasco.
I was fully trained and quite interested in the project especially when I learned that almost all offenders who breached their ASBO conditions would automatically be jailed.
The reality was a shock but hardly a surprise.
As the years went by - fewer and ever fewer were jailed.
Incidentally - where will all the prison spaces come from? Huh, Labour?
